Advanced Disposal Contract & Services (847)623-3870

The Village recently extended its contract with Advanced Disposal for an additional 5 years. The following is a breakdown of the contract:

Five year contract beginning December 1, 2015 and expires on November 30, 2020. The contract includes a provision for an optional 5 year renewal.

Pricing is tied to the size of refuse container (see below). Residents are able to receive a 95, 65, or 35 gallon recycling or refuse container.

A rate reduction from the current contract year begins on December 1, 2015.

Advanced Disposal has agreed to rate freezes in year 2 and year 4 of the contract. The initial rate freeze begins December 1, 2016. The second rate freeze takes affect December 1, 2018.

Twice per week pick-up for HOA approved multi-family homes is increased to $5.00 per unit. In addition, Advanced agreed to a pricing option of $10.00 for a multi-family unit where an HOA has not approved twice per week pick up.

Single family twice per week pick up is $15, a decrease from $15.75.

All other rate increases continue to be tied to inflation via CPI-U and with a minimum 2% and maximum 5% increase.

The charts below offers an overview of the contract pricing which includes the rate freezes. During the past 5 years of the existing contract, the Village has experienced a 2% increase based on CPI-U. This assumption is utilized in the pricing below but is only a projection

Yard waste collection continues to occur from April 1 through November 30. Yard waste stickers are reduced from $2.22 to $2.00 the first contract year and would be subject to CPI-U and the rate freezes associated with refuse collection.

Advanced Disposal also currently offers a subscription service where residents pay a monthly fee to place up to 6 containers at the curb per weekly collection. Advanced Disposal charged $12.68 per month for this service but residents had to pay for April through November regardless of the start date of service. Advanced Disposal has agreed to provide a flat rate of $100. Advanced has agreed to a prorated fee of $75 for individuals starting service in August who may wish to utilize this service for leaf collection.

Advanced Disposal currently provides what is referred to as white goods collection. These items are large appliances such as refrigerators or dishwashers. Advanced Disposal has agreed to continue to keep the existing pricing tied to the CPI-U and associated rate freezes with refuse collection.
